vista n powertree batch file problem

[Robert Alvarez]

this is the first time I try using powertree in my vista computer.

problem:
can run the pbcc sample program fine but not the dll .
the make32.bat keeps saying path not found.
here the edited make32.bat file for use with pb9
can anyone tell me whats missing??

---------------------------------------------------------------------

@echo off
echo Compiling sample programs with PB/DLL 6.00
echo.

set pbpath=c:\PBWin90

if not exist %pbpath%\bin\PBEDIT.EXE.exe goto :Error

echo Building CREATE.EXE
%pbpath%\bin\pbedit /q /l create

echo Building FIND.EXE
%pbpath%\bin\pbedit /q /l find

echo Building BROWSE.EXE
if #%pbmake32%#==#X# goto :AlreadySet

set include=%pbpath%\winapi;%include%
set pbmake32=X

:AlreadySet
%pbpath%\bin\rc browse
%pbpath%\bin\pbres browse
del browse.res
%pbpath%\bin\pbedit /q /l /i%pbpath%\winapi browse

set pbpath=

echo Done!

goto :Done

:Error
echo PowerBASIC was not found in the expected location.
echo You will need to edit the SET PBPATH= line of this batch file
echo (using a text editor, such as NOTEPAD) to set the correct path.

==>%pbpath%\bin\pbedit /q /l create
==> %pbpath%\bin\pbedit /q /l find
==> %pbpath%\bin\pbedit /q /l /i%pbpath%\winapi browse

Don't you want 'pbwin' instead of 'pbedit' here? the /q, /l, and /i options are for pbwin.exe; the only options for pbedit are:

PBEDIT.EXE [/G:row,col:] [/P:MainFile] [Filename]

change the pbedit to pbwin still get error message.
------------------
PowerBASIC was not found in the expected location.
You will need to edit the SET PBPATH= line of this batch file
(using a text editor, such as NOTEPAD) to set the correct path.
-------------------
I was never good this batch files. If I made one, it was very simple.
change batched file below.

@echo off
echo Compiling sample programs with PB/DLL 6.00
echo.

set pbpath=c:\PBWin90

if not exist %pbpath%\bin\PBWIN.EXE.exe goto :Error

echo Building CREATE.EXE
%pbpath%\bin\pbwin /q /l create

echo Building FIND.EXE
%pbpath%\bin\pbwin /q /l find

echo Building BROWSE.EXE
if #%pbmake32%#==#X# goto :AlreadySet

set include=%pbpath%\winapi;%include%
set pbmake32=X

:AlreadySet
%pbpath%\bin\rc browse
%pbpath%\bin\pbres browse
del browse.res
%pbpath%\bin\pbwin /q /l /i%pbpath%\winapi browse

set pbpath=

echo Done!

goto :Done

:Error
echo PowerBASIC was not found in the expected location.
echo You will need to edit the SET PBPATH= line of this batch file
echo (using a text editor, such as NOTEPAD) to set the correct path.

:Done

Your line:-

if not exist %pbpath%\bin\PBWIN.EXE.exe goto :Error

would be better with only one '.exe'.

I don't think this is an issue here (yet?) but....

>echo Compiling sample programs with PB/DLL 6.00

The 6x compiler is a 16-bit application and will not run on Vista/64. For that matter, I think the resource compiler (rc.exe) is also a 16-bit application.

[Marco Pontello]

For that matter, I think the resource compiler (rc.exe) is also a 16-bit application.

No problem with that, it's a 32 bit one.

Bye!

removing the extra .exe fixed it. thanks everyone for you help.
